Precision Rapid Sheet Metal® Prototypes
Focusing only on prototypes and quick turn short run sheet metal parts, Rapid
Sheet Metal is the world’s largest Rapid Prototype Sheet Metal fabricator. All
prototype sheet metal fabrications are shipped within 1 to 2 weeks and quotes
are returned in 24 hours or less. With over 45 employees on coffee IVs running
two shifts in a 25,000 square foot plant, Rapid Sheet Metal is your competitive
advantage for quick turn sheet metal prototypes. The Rapid Group represents
Rapid Sheet Metal in New England.
Our Edge - No Drawings Required!
Rapid Sheet Metal leverages your 3D CAD database. This ensures part quality and
speeds delivery of your sheet metal prototypes. Your 3D data is used to create
the sheet metal “flat” and then fabricate the part. No time is lost or mistakes
made redrawing your data. And Rapid Sheet Metal does not require a drawing. The
prototypes are fabricated to the 3D model and any dimension we need can be
extracted from the 3D model as well.
Speed Based Manufacturing Focus
Like many shops we use high powered laser cutters and advanced technology press
brakes. The Rapid Sheet Metal difference is that processes are optimized to save
queue time. Cross-trained employees jump from department to department depending
on workload. Management is hands-on. Bottom-line, we do what it takes to make
parts rapidly without sacrificing quality. No excuses and no babysitting
required.
